National Counseling week

National Counseling week was a very nice project. In this project we made a card which had origami box attached on it, and that box was filled with chocolates. and each card had the name of the counselor. by doing this project we got the chance to  thank all the counselors for helping us and supporting us.
   
  Our class was so energetic doing this project. We made the boxes first and every person had to make 2 or 3 boxes. Then before the day we had to give the cards to our counselors, we made a list that which person has which counselor, so that we can make a group and that group can give the card to their counselor. 

 I really like this project. i made 3 boxes and i helped in putting the candies in the boxes. This project was so fun, and mostly  by doing this project we got the chance to  thank all the counselors for helping us and supporting us.

Brookdale Senior Living Trip



    

                             
  We went to the Brookdale Senior Living trip on February 16 from our leaderships class. We went there to give the elderly people gifts for Christmas, and we also did presentations for them and we played with them.


 When our teacher explained the project that we are going to do and then she asked for volunteers, me and my friend volunteered. We started thinking for the ideas and then my friend came up a very nice idea, we thought to play lottery with the old people. The prizes were hoodie and a pair of socks for the third place, for the second place we bought a quilt, and for the first place we decided to give a teddy bear and a  basket of fruits.we also made origami flower for the elderly people. The whole class was so supporting and hardworking during the whole project.
 
  I really liked this project. It is a really beautiful place. We went there and we went to a room and we were waiting for the old people to come, we were in pairs one person where, one person who is a strong English speaker and another who is a strong Spanish speaker. When the olderly people came we started to approach them, and we started talking to them, we also explained the game to the while we were talking to them. then after sometime we started playing the lottery. The lady i was talking to won the second prize, she told me she really liked the gift. I like helping people and i don't like to see people sad, by visiting the brookdale senior living i got the chance to make old people happy. They really liked that we went there and did something for them.

Hearts for the staff

  This was my favorite project. In this project we made cards, on that cards it had a jar full of hearts. And also chocolates attached aside.
    
    We distributed the work, each group member had to do 5 cards. We had 5 groups in our class, 4 groups were doing cards and the other group was making the hearts for the cards. We had a fun time doing this project. After that we started attaching the hearts to the cards. And then before the day we had to give the cards to the teachers we attached chocolates to every card.





It was a very fun project. I really liked it. At the day before we had to give cards to all the staff, we find out that we still need 30 more cards, then me and my friends made that cards in time. Then we went to give the cards to the staff.By doing this project we got the chance to thanks our teachers and staff for helping us in school and always being there for us.
